T. II. KNIGHT CONVICTED. Universe
regrets were heard all over town last
Saturday when it became known that
r. X. knight and his two companions
had been convicted instead of acquit-
ted at Fort Smith, for the killing Of St.
John. Tho first supposition, from the
dispatch received, was that the verdict
was murder, but as subsequently
learned, IL was mansiaughter. That
Mr.. Knight only did his duty and was
guilty of no criminal intent, We have
all felt satisfied and that this treatment
should have resulted seems, from this
point Of view, to be travesty on JUS
tice. ST. Johns family it appears are
possessed of considerable means and
the prosecution has been as relentless
as the free use OF money, prompted by
the desire for revenge, could make II.
II was frequently asserted that il nee
essary $4,000 would be expended ia
secure a conviction. The most damag-
ing features Of the case, as shown from
Judge ParkeT's charge, IL we are cor.
rectly informed, was that the offense
OF carrying a weapon was not grave
enough for the employment Of extreme
measures to suppress. Also that in his
opinion three men should have been
able to disarm a fourth without kill
ing him. Morally, the interior depart
ment is in a great measure responsible
in this matter, because OF issuing an
order OF the kind, where iull authori
ty for its enforcement IL wanting.
motion for a new trial was at once en-
tered and pending its determination
the defendants were permitted to go
upon bail as before. The penalty, we
believe, is from one to ten years im

&. First Lessons in Painting.

A celebrated miniature painter who was
usually hardup sometimes consented to take
q pupil to help initiate the cash account.
though much against his inclination, A
wealthy gentleman called at the Studio one
day and begged the artist TIC take his son, a
young man Of IS. as pupil. promising to
pay handsomely for the instruction. The
boy was admitted for the sake Of the money
it would bring; but, much to the painters
disgust. it was discovered that he knew alb
solutely nothing Of the FIRST principles Of
drawing. The young man sat around for
half an hour the FIRST morning. watching the
master at work. much to the latter's annoy
ance, and finally ventured 10 ask that he be
given something to do.
"All right all rightl" the artist replied,
going to closet and returning with a pair
OF muddy boots and a backing brush.
"Here, black these boots, young man; 1t
will give you BREADTH"

Another Successful Test.

DR.. Rae attached his electric system with
the sulphuret or clean up pan in the Doug
lass mill this week, and as to be expected,
the result was a success. The material
operated upon was entirely green and the
tests taken showed that the quicksilver was
as perfectly freed from the magnetic iron as
had been the case with the settlers before
treated. The usual way, is to have these
sulphurets thoroughly dried and oxidized
before putting them through the clean up
pan. this is accomplished at considerable
outlay Of time and labor, as they are repeat.
eddy shoveled over and sprinkled with salt,
until the process of drying is completed.
From this test it appears that sulphurets can
be worked just as well or better without this
extra expense.

The Maid of the valley.

The Sierra Valley Leader says: "Miss
Ellen Callehan sold to James Miller last
Saturday 46 head of cattle, at eight and one
half cents pound. This is the highest price
paid in this valley, in two years, for beef.
Miss Callehan received Saga IS for her
cattle and has band still growing. Some
IL or IS years ago her brother died and left
her two coed ranches and band of cattle
and horses. Since then she has managed the
ranches and stock herself as sole proprietor.
She is a noted character here for her peculiar
manner in attending to her household affairs,
as well as caring for her stock and gathering
in her large crap Of hay, etc., all of which
she personally superintends. She can har-
ness team, break wild horses, run mower,
feed the stock or do anything of the work on
a ranch. She shows great charity for stock,
as often she has been known to take the young
calves, colts, chickens and ducks into the
kitchen to save them from the inclemency OF
the weather, for several weeks at time.

waited to work, and it is our opinion that none
others need apply. Dudes would not, we
believe, be noticed as candidates for the
matrimonial hand of Miss Callehan. She
lives alone in her gal-,ry and appears to en-.
Joy herself both in doors and out, but espec-
tally when driving good pair of her unbitable
horses over which she holds the reins in a
manner peculiar to herself. She values her
property at $40, 900. Her age we do not
know, and should nor mention it if we did.
She weighs about 1870 pounds, wears neither
false tooth or hair, she has good healthy
complexion and blue eyes. She would not
take bank checks or gold notes for her beef
from Mr. Miller, but must have the coin, and
she took it home with her in barley sack.
The banks, she says, are all swindlers, is
the reason she will not take checks or gold
notes.

Three years ago certain property in Reno
could have been bought for $4,000. The
same piece of property has been lately sold
for $4,000. Three years ago this property
brought in a rental OF less than 500 per
month; to-day the income from rents of the
same property is above $500 per month.
The increase in value of the property Of
Reno has not been less than S25o, 900 during
the last three years. There must necessari-
ly be cause for this appreciation, and that
cause is to be found in the enterprise of her
citizens. The reduction works of Reno,
although not yet completed, have been the
ain-spring of this prosperity. At present,
though little better than an matchmaking
mill, it has demonstrated the fact that the
country abounds in ores that can be reduced
at profit. and that, with the Improvements
now proposed, it will be made possible to
extract the precious metals from the count
less millions of tons Of ore that have until
now been regarded as worthless.
At meeting recently held at Reno the
capital stock of the Reno Reduction Com
pany was increased from 500, 900 to $780,
900, in order to raise funds to equip these
works with all things necessary to make
them second to none on the Pacific Coast.
1t is the purpose Of this company to con
struct works capable of successfully treat.
ing all grades of ores, from free milling to
the most rebellious, upon the most practicle
and scientific principles. As a guarantee of
the genuineness OF this proposition, Mr..
John Howell, who is acknowledged to be
the foremost metallurgist in America, has
immediate charge Of the enterprise; and 1t
is his intention to remain and superintend
the works in all departments. Mr.. Howell's
good faith is manifested in his investing
$751; 200 in the stock of the corporation. At
present the only institution on this coast
that will purchase copper ore. is that Of J.
NJ. Douglass & Co., of Dayton, and his de.
mand is SO light that not a single one Of our
rich copper mines can be supported by it.
When the Reno works are completed we
may reasonably expect Lyon county to find
a profitable market for her copper.
The leading business men of Reno and
other places have taken hold Of this enter
prise and it will succeed. They are alive TO
their own interests, and labor to promote
that which is calculated to be benefit to
their community. 1t like manner it is the
duty OF every citizen Of Dayton, if he sees
that any enterprise is calculated to prove a
wheel and give it a boost.

Esmaeraida Items.


The following items Of interest are taken
from the Walker Lake Bulletin Of last Wed.
nesday:
Three tons of Pamlico ore shipped last
week to Reno yielded over $500. This is
the result of the work of three men for six
weeks.
The Lapanta ground is full Of lodges. Last
Saturday, in what is known as the grub stake
shaft three foot ledge was uncovered. The
ore from this latest discovery gives an aver
age assay 500.
The Mount Cory mine is improving stead
lily. In the South drift on the 40 foot level
the ore body is looking well as it is devel-
oped and on the 400 foot level in the South
west drift, thay are now cutting into ledge
that is very promising. The force has re-
Gently been slightly increased.
The Mount Diablo mill began operation
last week, and everything is working per-
fectly. The mill was not started at its full
capacity as it was necessary to give tie
machinery chance to adjust itself and to get
the furnaces heated thoroughly, but it is now
working to the limit and is complete sue
cess. The large quantity Of ore on hand and
in sight in the mine insures long and prosp-
erous run

A Bright Outlook.

1t promises to,be an exceedingly prosper
Gus season At the various lakes and resorts
in this vicinity this summer. There will be
an unusually large crowd ofeastern excursion
lists on the coast this summer devoted to sight
seeing and all the points Of interest in the
State will be sure to be visited by them.
The burning Of the Hotel del Monte will
doubtless cause many Of those who usually
60 to that place to come to the mountains.
The summer resorts in this vicinity ought to
experience "boom" this year and they will
II they advertise their attractions sufficiently.
Our lakes have been rather poorly advertised
IN the past, but reform should be made and
world should be informed Of the advantages
we possess for delighting pleasure seekers.
